Weekend in a Carry-on

Jill says:

I am meeting the hubs in Charlotte for the weekend.  He's been away all week.  So I'm flying out tomorrow night.  Which means it will be a zoo checking in and getting through security

To make things easier, I am fixated on not having to check luggage.  And since I have no upper arm strength and my husband isn't around to hoist my wheel on bag into the overhead, I need to fit everything into a weekend duffle.  I know it can be done.  I just need some help picking the right easy to pack, easy to layer pieces.

Plus, this is a good warm-up for some Thanksgiving "weekend in a carry-on" packing lists that we can put together for everyone going on a Thanksgiving get away next week.

So Jessica, what do I pack?

Jessica says:

Jill, here are 3 easy, comfortable outfits for your weekend. So, outfit 1 is for the day and flight to Charlotte, outfit 2 is for Saturday-out and about, outfit 3 is for Saturday night out to dinner. Then you can either wear outfit 1 or 2 for your travel home.

Jill all you have to pack in your weekend duffle is:

  1. Jeans
  2. Leopard Shoes
  3. Chambray Shirt
  4. Berry Pants
  5. Neutral Clutch
  6. Gold Bangles
  7. And of course toiletries and undergarments.
* I know, boots -- not so practical for airport-- but you will have plenty of time to take them off while waiting in line.
